Known forbaroquehistoriclocalWWII history
Vienna's oldest baroque public park, dating to 1650, with long straight allées of chestnut trees that create a magnificent canopy in summer. It houses the Vienna Boys' Choir school and the famous Augarten porcelain manufactory, giving it a genuinely cultured, local feel far removed from tourist circuits. Two massive WWII flak towers loom over the park — an eerie and historically significant contrast to the elegant surroundings.
